How to fertilize Yachiyo

1. The amount of fertilizer

Generally, succulents are relatively small, and there is not much soil in the pots where they grow, so they generally need very little fertilizer. If you apply a lot of fertilizer in order to make them grow faster, it will have the opposite effect. Therefore, applying a small amount of fertilizer can make them grow slowly and also appropriately improve their disease resistance. Therefore, it is important to apply fertilizer in moderation.

2. Time of fertilization

Generally, when we just start planting, we can apply a little bit of fertilizer to the soil, such as some rotten leaves, chicken manure, etc. Don't apply too much. Once you lay a good foundation, the plant will grow very fast in the future. Generally, the best time to apply fertilizer is in spring and autumn, because this is the best time for its growth, so it needs fertilizer very much. Generally, it is enough to add fertilizer once every 20 days. In summer, it is dormant, so there is no need to fertilize it. In winter, its growth is also relatively slow, so if you fertilize it at this time, the effect will not be very significant. So just try not to fertilize.

3. Fertilizer application tips

When fertilizing it, we should not use too concentrated fertilizer. Try to use more thinner fertilizer and dilute it before use. Also, when applying fertilizer, remember not to sprinkle it on the leaves, otherwise the leaves will be damaged. Be sure to remember this. When using fertilizer, you should make it smaller and mix it with the soil in the pot. Remember not to damage its roots. After applying fertilizer, remember to loosen the soil appropriately. This will not only allow it to absorb well, but also make it more breathable.
